What’s the Word?

Sometimes during or after a seizure I expierence temporary aphasia- the inability to comprehend language or respond with language. Luckily this is only temporary, but because it happens during a seizure or seizure cluster and I recieve even the tiniest seizure daily I struggle to find words every now and then.

To cope, I try to “sound out” the word I’m looking for or even replacing it with another word. I usually just accept defeat and say “I lost it", oh well” and move on with my life.
